About this listen

This week we visit ELS Hall Park in Marsfield NSW and examine hoverboarding in parents and care givers. 

 

We discuss why this is a growing trend and why parents feel the need to hover over their children around the playground.

 

We also consider the emotional reasons behind hovering and what it's actually doing to their children’s development. 

 

We look at the impact hovering also has on the mental health of children and how this will affect their self esteem long term, well into their teen years. 

 

We ask, if you’re not letting your child be independent now, then when?
